Dear Mr. Ivory:

I have reviewed your request to apply for a retroactive letter of permission to transfer credits for CHEM 217 taken via Athabasca University in Fall 2013. As you know, Regulation 14.1 indicates that, €œThe student must obtain a Letter of Permission from the Arts and Science Faculty Office prior to enrolling in classes at another post-secondary institution€ and a separate and correct application is required for each and every term a course is taken on a letter of permission. This type of request would not normally be granted; however, given that this appears to be the final credits you need to graduate, I agree to this request.

Please submit your application for the Letter of Permission as soon as possible to ensure that the courses requested will count at Queen€™s. You can obtain an application form at http://www.queensu.ca/artsci/sites/default/files/letter_of_permission1_0.pdf Please include course descriptions with your application form as well as the application fee http://www.queensu.ca/artsci/student-forms (click on the red €œPay Now€ button). It may take up to three weeks to receive your letter of permission.

Note that official transcripts with final grades must be received by the Faculty of Arts and Science Office by 15 May to be considered for graduation at Spring Convocation, or by 15 October for Fall Convocation. Finally, please keep in mind that you must achieve a minimum grade of C on each course taken on a Letter of Permission, unless stated otherwise.

I wish you well in the remainder of your studies at Queen€™s, and in your future undertakings.

Yours sincerely,

Johanne Bénard, Ph.D.
Associate Dean (Studies)
